Inferior 'trapdoor' orbital floor fractures with muscle and soft tissue incarceration are the most common type of orbital fracture in children. Delays to treatment can lead to a significant morbidity. It has been recommended that children who present with a 'white-eyed blowout' fracture should have surgery performed within 48h of diagnosis, otherwise prognosis is poor. A 14-year-old boy was ini...

In this paper we consider some nonlinear discrete-time dynamic models proposed in the literature to represent marketing competition, and we use these models to critically discuss the statement, often made in economic literature, that identical agents behave identically and quasi-identical ones behave in a similar way. We show, through examples and some general mathematical statements, that the ...

The dissolved methane (CH4) plume rising from the crater of the blowout well 22/4b in the Central North Sea was mapped during stratified water column conditions. Geochemical surveys were conducted close to the seafloor at 80.3 m water depth, below the thermocline (61.1 m), and in the mixed surface layer (13.2 m) using membrane inlet mass spectrometry (MIMS) in combination with a towed CTD. Seaw...

Simulating the Effects of the Circulation and Synthetic Dispersants on the Subsea Oil Transport” T comments by Adams et al. question the validity of our assumed oil droplet size model, which we deployed within a numerical simulation to describe oil transportation through the water column after blowout. Oil droplet size estimates may be the most significant unknown variable in oil transport stud...
